When I was in highschool I was on the heavy side. I was 5’8″ and wore a dress size 18. I remember the most frustrating thing about being plus sized and a teen was just how limited I was on buying dresses for school formals because when I was growing up the only plus-size stores were Lane Bryant and shopping in the plus-size section at Macy’s. The dress styles catered to older heavier women’s taste and not for a teen or 20-something. Today there are many stores that carry plus-size gowns that would be appealing to teens such as Torrid. The only problem is that if there are any other plus sized teens that are going to be attending the same event as you, you run the greater chance of choosing the exact same dress since they too will more than likely shop at Torrid too! Plus Torrid or any other local store is going to only have a few dresses to choose from since their market is everyday fashion and not specifically formal dresses.
Just because you are plus sized, doesn’t mean you should suffer and be forced to wear unflattering dresses. You too should be able to wear dresses that suits your style, personality, and helps you feel confident and beautiful!
The best way to find the perfect dress is to purchase a custom made from Dress Shop! Dress Shop lets you order any dress on their site made for any sized woman plus you can choose any style of dress and order it in the color of your choice. All they need is your measurements and if you happen to be over a size 14W, then they only charge and additional fee of $9.99 which is still a great deal because many of the plus-sized stores will also take on a higher charge on plus-sized clothing.
Here are just some of our favorite dresses that can also be custom made as plus size sweet 16 dresses that we think would look great on a teen with curves. But don’t let your recommendations stop you, remember you can order any dress you like from Dress Shop in any size!

This dress is so beautiful and flattering because of the band that cinches the dress just below the breasts. The band creates the illusion of a narrower waist and the length provides a longer and leaner look. CLICK HERE for prices and ordering info.
